needless to say :D *scnr

Look out for companies that hire people for the sole purpose of hiring people :). Then be a good programmer there.

wow, that is how you have to present something like that :). Well done! I'm impressed.

:D

  > and telling people to quit is unreasonable.

well, it's not :/. Just quit.

why? :(

I filled out the form 12 days ago, I never heard back from then, I didn't receive a link :(.

  > Hire a Wildcard to Get Sh*t Done

That is the title on their frontpage. Probably made by a Mädchen für alles (literally, "girl for everything").

I don‘t think you want to be the Passepartout of a corporation. It‘s rewarding at first, but the longer you try to fulfill that role, the more you will be exhausted. Imagine being involved in everything a company does. As someone already commented, it‘s a recipe for a burn-out.

I still don't know which is the most powerful one. I remember people buying the previous generation of XBox consoles, because they were confused about the name :D.

They mention rustup on the 3rd slide.

You can register an account for free. You don't need to provide anything when registering an account, just choose an E-Mail and a password. Is that what you mean with "privacy preserving"?

use git+syncthing then :)

In my city some of these buttons have no function other than blinking after you have pushed them. But it depends on the time. Early in the morning you have to push it, otherwise it will stay red forever.

So for me the sticker reads: "we are too incompetent at programming" :).

My other thought: "these don't look official, someone private has made them for a joke".

yes! same with me :). Funny effect.

It's probably Element with a different logo and different colors.

T470 was fine :). $Company thought that a "T490 must be better and good enough" :). In fact, if you cool down a T490 good enough, it _is_ faster than a T470, but in the end the T490 is useless for a developer that needs processing power.

If you scroll down to the bottom/footer, under "Get started" you can click "Buy Cincom Smalltalk": https://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/product/cincom-smalltal...

Ok, you can't (page not found), but the link above is "Try Cincom Smalltalk": https://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/try/ there you can download a "personal edition". Well, you have to fill out a form and provide some information to get the download link.

Perhaps this is an option for you.

yea, Thunar is a godsend.

who?

Redmine is nice, using it since 2011 :).

We still have many Thinkpad T490 with Intel Core i7 and 40GB Ram. They overheat and throttle gpu and cpu to the point you can't work anymore. Even the mouse comes to a halt. The fan barely spins up. Absolutely rubbish.

Then we have Thinkpad P15v2 Gen2, also with Core i7, the moment you fire up your compiler, the fans spin up immediately (also very loud). No throttling, you can compile all day.

At home I have a Thinkpad Ryzen laptop, no fan noise, no throttling, full power. It's just a different kind.

I'm on your side, but there is not much you can do to convince Jetbrains to make IntelliJ more performant. They are adding more features with every release. You can expect IntelliJ to become slower and slower if you don't upgrade your hardware.

As a user your choice is buying new hardware, or not using IntelliJ. Paulo Renato de Athaydes decided to do the latter :). However, he states that he's missing the features of IntelliJ :). That's why I would buy a more potent computer (or one that has more fans and able to cool down good enough).

  As much as it hurts me to say this, as a fan of JetBrains and its tools, IntelliJ just seems to have become too heavy to run properly on a laptop that’s not at the very higher end of laptops in the early 2020’s.

They advised you to turn off/uninstall plugins, which I did as well. I disabled most of the plugins, even the ones that get shipped by default. For me it improved the performance a lot.

But imho you just need a more powerful computer :). You are obviously missing the features from IntelliJ :).

This is how I imagine passion. Lovely. Every second.

I was sad when Pluralsight bought Code School, then made the interactive content available to the most expensive plan only, and not adding new content at all :(. I paid for a whole year just to realize there‘s nothing new.

I will never forgive that they have eaten code school :).

:D

Zombo! :)

True, they make it harder for the average Joe, but you can still do anything on macOS, even install 3rd party kernel extensions. But yes, it's quite clear they want you to use an iPad instead of a MacBook :).
